While legendary Welsh crooner Tom and Will.i.am are said to have signed up to join Price Tag hitmaker Jessie on the panel, it is thought Young is still negotiating.

If the Jealousy singer doesn’t finalise a deal, he could be replaced by Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson , according to The Sun newspaper.

Jessie was the first to sign up for the show and said how eager she is to help budding young singers realise their dreams.

She wrote: ‘I’m excited to be a coach, inspiration and mentor and I jumped at the opportunity as it’s all about The Voice.’

Kylie Minogue was originally believed to be in the frame for a judging role on the panel of the BBC One show, but channel chiefs had to turn down her salary request of £2.5 million.

The Voice, which enjoyed a successful first series in the US earlier this year, sees hopefuls perform for the judges without them seeing their faces and will be hosted by Holly Willoughby and Reggie Yates.

Holly âwho quit ITV1’s Dancing on Ice to take the job â said: ‘I’m so excited to be hosting The Voice. When it launched in America I watched one of the shows and thought it was just a fantastic format, and when I heard it was coming to the UK I thought to myself how incredible it would be to be a part of it.

‘It’s going to be one roller coaster of a ride and I can’t wait to get started!’
